Aurash, we own Yamaha machinery but just throwing it out there...are the movements of the motors smooth or with friction? Is it possible that the linear screw rods (as in our machinery) require to be lubricated? There are special lubricants for each

The software is crazy expensive for some of this stuff and in many cases you could develop the bits of it you actually use in-house for a fraction of the cost. Unless you are a company who really like this level of process control and you run multip
